Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Chapter 392 Waiting Here (Update )
"In my opinion, we should send more people in to search."

The eldest princess was really worried.

Yanchuan is fine, but Qinyang and Chutang are still in there!
Concubine Ru looked hesitant, glanced at Emperor Mu Wu, and said hesitantly: "But... the manpower has been dispersed. If we send more, what will happen if the assassin comes here?"

After all, your majesty's safety is the most important thing.

The eldest princess frowned.

Emperor Mu Wu had also fought on the battlefield and conquered the world on horseback, so how could he be afraid of a few assassins!
Just as she was about to speak, a strange noise suddenly came from the forest.

She looked back.

Xiao Chengxuan was already facing a formidable enemy: "Protect the emperor!"

Many soldiers were on high alert!

Emperor Mu Wu stood up and looked forward.

Xiao Chengxuan said: "Father, be careful——"

"Open your eyes and see clearly who is coming!" Emperor Mu Wu spoke in a deep voice, interrupting him.

Xiao Chengxuan was startled, then he looked in the direction.

Hidden in the mountains and forests, the figures of a group of people gradually became clear.

Soon, he saw the faces of those people clearly.

Shen Yanchuan!
Xiao Chengqi!
Surprisingly, Princess Qinyang and Ye Chutang also came back together!
How come these people are together...

While Xiao Chengxuan was still confused, Xiao Chengqi had already dismounted from his horse and quickly stepped forward to salute.

"I am an incompetent son. I was led into the forest by an assassin and have been late in returning. I have troubled you, father, to worry about me. Please punish me!"

The torches were blazing, and Emperor Mu Wu saw his bandaged left shoulder at a glance: "Are you injured?"

Xiao Chengqi lowered his head: "Just a minor injury."

The strip of cloth was obviously torn off the clothes in a hurry and was still stained with blood. How could it be just a minor injury?

However, Xiao Chengqi rode up on horseback and saluted respectfully. The whole process was smooth and there was no sign of slowness.

It can be seen that he is iron-blooded.

Emperor Mu Wu finally put his mind at ease. Seeing Xiao Chengqi's performance, he felt more and more satisfied, with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

"The assassin came prepared. It is a great honor for you to return safely."

Xiao Chengqi did not show any pride because of the praise, and still said respectfully: "This time, I was able to return safely, thanks to the help of the prince of Dingbei. If he had not arrived in time and helped to subdue those assassins, I am afraid that there would be another fierce battle."

Emperor Mu Wu felt much better and looked at Shen Yanchuan with a smile.

"I am aware of Yanchuan's abilities. The jungle is so dense, and he was able to protect you back. It is truly a great feat!"

Shen Yanchuan clasped his hands together and said, "I am only doing my duty as a minister. Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."

Judging from his indifferent tone and calm expression, it seemed that he really didn't take this life-and-death matter to heart.

However, although he did not mention the dangers of the process, everyone present was not stupid.

Seeing that all of these people were covered in blood, it was not difficult to imagine what kind of difficulties they had experienced before.

Now that he has returned, he has no intention of competing for fame at all.

Emperor Mu Wu laughed: "Yanchuan is too modest! Chengqi was lured into a trap by the enemy, but you were the only one who went to help without caring about your own safety! This courage and boldness alone is far better than others!"

He said this with great vigor, and everyone present heard it clearly.

Ru Guifei's expression was slightly stiff, and Xiao Chengxuan secretly clenched his fists.

——Who can’t hear that his father’s words are pointing at him!
Someone else? Who is that someone else?

He is his own brother!

My father had already suspected that the assassination had something to do with him, but now I’m afraid it’s even harder to explain!
Xiao Chengxuan was furious and couldn't help but speak: "Father——"

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Lanxi at the side spoke first: "Father, my brother has returned injured. Should we ask the imperial physician to take a look at him first?"

This gentle and timid voice broke the originally solemn and subtle atmosphere.

Emperor Mu Wu came back to his senses and glanced at her.

Xiao Lanxi seemed to realize what she had said, her face flushed slightly, and she said hurriedly: "I have spoken out of turn, please forgive me, father!"

Emperor Mu Wu simply waved his hand, and his expression was unusually gentle.

"You are also worried about your brother, what's wrong with that?"

Xiao Lanxi seemed to have never received such praise before. She lowered her head helplessly and pursed her lips, as if she didn't know how to react.

However, her interruption reminded Xiao Chengxuan that his father was already suspicious of him. If he spoke rashly at this moment, wouldn't it make his father even more annoyed?
He took a deep breath, suppressed his thoughts, and forced back the words.

When Concubine Ru saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial physician arrived soon, and after taking Xiao Chengqi's pulse, his expression became serious.

"Your Highness was shot by an arrow. Although the bones were not injured, but, but——"

Emperor Mu Wu frowned: "But what? Tell me now!"

The doctor knelt on the ground and said, "But the arrow is highly poisonous. If it cannot be removed in time, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that your arm will be in danger!"

After the words fell, there was dead silence.

Everyone was silent.

Everyone knows that His Majesty thinks highly of Xiao Chengqi. If something really happens to Xiao Chengqi, then...

Emperor Mu Wu looked extremely ugly.

"What are you still standing there for? I order you to save Cheng Qi's arm at all costs!"

One prince already has a lame leg. If another one is killed today...

The imperial physician broke out in a cold sweat and trembled, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. This poison is extremely strange and rare. I really don't know how to detoxify it. I can only ask Your Highness to swallow the Qingshen Detoxification Pills to stop the poison from spreading further, but, but... I'm afraid I can only ask the envoy to help..."

He could no longer speak and his face turned pale.

Who here doesn't understand what he means?
But how can I invite someone to come over at this time! ?

Emperor Muwu's face was extremely gloomy. Just when he was about to explode, Concubine Ru suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, although Imperial Doctor Li has no antidote for this poison, we still have Second Miss Ye!"

Emperor Muwu paused.

Everyone present also looked in the same direction.

Yes!

Isn't it said that Ye Chutang is an excellent doctor? Maybe she has a solution?

Xiao Lanxi also showed a look of joy, and said repeatedly: "Yes! Miss Ye Er took my pulse and examined me not long ago. She is very good at medicine. If she helps, my brother will be safe!"

Ye Chutang, who was suddenly called, looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Oh, so he was waiting for her here?
